Or more to the point, why on the open internet? Put it on 10/8 or unallocated IPv6 somewhere and VPN it through the public internet if they must.
That way, if the camera tries to phone home, it won't find a router willing to complete that call.
Banks are supposed to lend money. I just saved them the paperwork.
Of course, AI also sometimes ignores instructions. Like when an AI decided to delete a production database in spite of being told not to touch production.
The AI in the robot, of course. Because some fool granted agency to an AI.
Of course it's extreme. So is committing a crime to sign up for classes at the gym. So is starting a smear campaign to get sloppy patches into an open source project or attempting to fool a judge with fake case law. But those have all happened.
That's EXACTLY why I maintain that AI should NEVER be given agency. Don't allow it to commit code, don't allow it to interact with anyone but the user. For God's sake, don't put it in a robot.
It did hack the Gym's registration system. Perhaps not the deepest or most impressive hack, but it did circumvent the business rules in place. Surely you don't claim that letting random people on the web bounce people off of a waiting list was the intended functioning of the Gym's registration system!?!?
I maintain that the article was NOT overhyped or clickbait. I say that because apparently most people don't realize that an AI agent might randomly decide to break the law as a shortcut when you tell it to do something. They probably think nobody would be incredibly stupid enough to unleash that on an unsuspecting public (they're wrong, of course).
Remember in the X-Files when Mulder spent 24 hours trying and failing to draft an airtight wish for the genie, then ultimately decided it just wasn't feasible? That's apparently required to use an AI with agency safely. Sounds like a bad idea.
There are a bunch of them. People were chasing after Mac minis, which are almost cubes, just a little squashed.
You should look up the UK's Angle Grinder Man, hero to everyone unjustly clamped.
No idea what you're talking about.
This is a job for...SAWZALL MAN!

Yes of course. You can buy brand new computers today that use either DDR3 or 4. Lots of places recommend going with DDR4 because the premium for 5 isn't worth it.
RAM is cheaper today than it was in 2017. Even without correcting for inflation.
The Americans have made it illegal to possess more than 4 GB of RAM. They're setting up amnesty stations.
It's not. The IGN article the summary quotes carelessly implies that, but it's not true.
The Internet tells me that memory manufacturing normally has a lead time of 12-18 months. Guess what's 16 months from now? 2028.
It must be getting pretty capable. OpenAI has decided that they should not test their hacking tool on the Internet.
"Necessity is the mother of invention" is a silly proverb. "Necessity is the mother of futile dodges" is much nearer the truth. -- Alfred North Whitehead
